The new long-haul cabin that Jetblue uses in the Airbus A321LR aircraft was co-developed in Austria. The supplier FACC is on board as a development and manufacturing partner of Airbus and sets new standards for the interior of passenger aircraft with its innovative components for the entrance area, luggage racks and ceiling panels.

The Upper Austrian company developed the Airspace Cabin of the A320 family of the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus and is now producing it in series. First customer is Jetblue. With the Airspace Cabin, Airbus has raised the flight experience for the passengers of its narrow-body aircraft to the standard of a wide-body aircraft. Anyone who has previously missed the special comfort of a long-haul flight experience on short-haul flights can look forward to the widest single-aisle cabin on the market. The new, futuristic-looking aircraft cabin was first delivered to the launch customer JetBlue on April 29, 2021.

"The first components that the passenger sees when boarding come from FACC," emphasizes Robert Machtlinger, CEO of FACC AG, not without pride. "The entrance area produced by us ensures with its unique aesthetics, a technically high-quality design and a high feel-good atmosphere that the new Airspace Cabin inspires the flight passengers from the first second."

The interior system manufactured by FACC includes the entire cladding of the entrance area and the door area in the front, middle and rear of the aircraft. The ingenious integration of the innovative "Hero Light" lighting system introduced by Airbus in the Airspace cabin results in a completely new and friendly interior atmosphere for the passengers - from the entrance area through the main cabin to the rear service area of ​​the aircraft cabin. The full LED lighting technologies installed by FACC are not only eye-catching but also help reduce jet lag.
